In CCTV footage of rioting in north Belfast on 12 July, a hijacked car is seen turning into a fireball as it is rolled towards police lines.

Rioters in nationalist Ardoyne pushed the blazing vehicle towards police in riot gear during disturbances connected to protests against a loyalist parade passing by the district. Sixteen police officers were injured during two nights of rioting.

Police released these images to underline the danger presented by the petrol tank. If it had exploded, many people would have died
